Less than (Ben) 10 days until Super Villain Island!

Slanted Fish

That is, if you’re a Poptropica member! Super Villain Island is set to release on September 27, 2012, which is next Thursday! We don’t know yet when it will be released to everyone, but maybe non-members will get a little demo. We’ll see. 😛

Get ready for dreams and disasters, and remember, the PHB’s Super Villain Island page will have guides and other resources available when it comes time to beat the villains. 😀

Also, there is a new Ben 10 Omniverse ad on Main Streets! Thanks to Samwow5 for his help on the guide:

Go inside and talk to Ben. He’ll tell you to talk to Zook. Zook says he is Ben’s new partner, and Zombozo is up to his old tricks again. Click on the 3rd question. You’ll have to help Ben get to Zombozo.

The rules state that you have to jump and climb your way to the top, but watch out for Zombozo’s bombs. If you get hit too many times, you have to start over. It’s very easy – just jump to different sides often until you reach the top. When you reach the top, he leaves. You win 2 prizes: the Alien Transformation Power and Ben 10 Costume.

In other news, don’t forget to enter the PHB’s 7 million hits contest if you haven’t already! You have until this Friday, September 21st for your chance to win a rare costume. 😀

Slanted Fish

There’s a new ad on Main Streets for an upcoming movie called Hotel Transylvania, in theaters September 28th! The object of the game is to deliver the luggages to the correct owners in 150 seconds or less. The names are marked on the doors.

WHAT GOES WHERE (WALKTHROUGH):

  • Wrapped up bag = Murray (first floor)
  • Stitches bag = Frank (first floor)
  • Normal bag = Jonathan (second floor)
  • Transparent bag = Griffin (third floor)
  • Scratched up bag = Wayne and Wanda (second floor)

For successfully completing this mini-mission, you’ll get two costumes! Girls get costumes of Mavis and Eunice. Boys get costumes of Drac and Frank. You can re-play the game if you want, but you’ll get the same prizes. 🙂
